What makes Bhutan different
Bhutan does not chase visitor numbers. It manages them deliberately, which is why the valleys stay quiet, the monasteries are not overrun and the air genuinely feels different. For Indian travellers it is one of the few places abroad that is both easy to enter and completely unlike home. You will not find the crowds of Thailand or the neon of Singapore. You will find fortress monasteries above river confluences, prayer flags on every pass, and a country that measures itself by something other than growth.
Flying in or driving in
By air to Paro
Direct flights operate from Delhi, Kolkata, Guwahati and Bagdogra. Paro’s approach between the mountains is famously dramatic and the airport is served by a small number of certified pilots, so schedules are weather-sensitive. Flying saves two full days compared with the overland route and is the sensible choice on a five-day trip.
Overland via Phuentsholing
The land border at Phuentsholing connects to Jaigaon in West Bengal, reached via Bagdogra or New Jalpaiguri. Permits are processed here. It costs you a day in each direction but it is considerably cheaper and the drive up to Thimphu through the foothills is genuinely beautiful. Good choice if you have seven days or more and want to keep costs down.
A sample 6-day itinerary
How we typically structure a first Bhutan trip. Yours gets rebuilt around your dates, group and fitness — particularly the Tiger’s Nest day.
About the Tiger’s Nest climb
This is the reason most people come, and the part most underestimate. Taktsang sits about 900 metres above the valley floor. The path is well made but steep and continuous, at altitude, and the round trip takes four to five hours at a moderate pace. Horses can carry you as far as the cafeteria roughly halfway, but the final stretch of stairs must be walked. Reasonably fit travellers of any age manage it comfortably if they start early and take it slowly. If anyone in your group has knee or heart concerns, tell us and we will plan an alternative day rather than have them find out on the mountain.

Common questions about Bhutan
No. Indian citizens do not require a visa. You do need an entry permit, which must be arranged before or on arrival, and a Sustainable Development Fee applies at a concessional rate for Indian nationals. We handle the permits and state the current fee clearly in your quote.
Independent travel is possible for Indian nationals, but permits, the SDF and the guide requirement for most sites make it considerably more work than it looks. Most travellers find a package simpler and no more expensive once everything is counted.
Five to six days covers Paro, Thimphu and Punakha properly, including the Tiger’s Nest climb. Seven or eight lets you add Phobjikha valley or travel overland. Under four days is only realistic if you fly both ways and skip Punakha.
Yes, with planning. The valleys, dzongs and drives are comfortable for most older travellers. Tiger’s Nest is the exception — it is a genuine climb. We build the itinerary so that anyone not walking up still has a full day rather than sitting in a hotel.
Easily. Bhutanese cuisine uses a great deal of cheese, chilli and rice, and hotels are used to Indian guests. Jain requirements need advance notice, which we give when booking rather than on the day.
Yes in Paro, Thimphu and Punakha. Indian SIMs do not work on domestic rates, so plan on a local SIM or hotel wifi. Coverage thins on the passes and in Phobjikha.
